I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?

It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.

I'm currently seeing a dermatologist for some acne scarring and I've been taking sotret 20mg for the past four months and it's really helped with the scars and my face isn't as oily. But I've started noticing that my hair is thinning, my eyes burn a lot, I get nosebleeds, stomach upsets, hair fall, and even back pain sometimes. Are these the side effects of sotret? And if they are, will they go away once I stop the medication? Will my hair eventually get back to its original thickness, and how long might that take? I mentioned all these symptoms to my dermatologist, but she doesn't really think they're caused by the medication. Any thoughts on what I should do?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as hair thinning, eye burn, nose bleeding, stomach upset, hair fall, and back pain, are common side effects of Sotret (Isotretinoin), and they are likely to subside once you stop taking the medication, with hair regrowth potentially taking several months to a year or more.
